It’s our last day in Bohoc. The entire trip has been a roller coaster of emotions … I feel happy and thankful and fulfilled one minute and then confused and anxious and empty the next. In one way, I feel as though I have accomplished much, but in another sense, I feel as though I could have done more.

Connecting with the team alone has been amazing. This trip has not been easy but the crew assembled tackled each task with enthusiasm and grace. Every person has a special bond with the other created through the common purpose of declaring Jesus’ love. Jesus revolutionized the world by teaching and demonstrating that true leaders are servants to all, and it’s cool to be a small part of His mission.

I’m pretty sure this will not be my last time in Haiti. I can see visiting multiple times. I want to worship with the Haitians in Pastor George’s church where we helped lay the foundation. I want to see Ronald again and the other leaders in Bohoc who have such an incredible vision for their city. From Team Rock to painting walls to holding the fatherless and motherless … This experience has been filled with growth and service and unity and love. Barbara, one of the missionaries we served this week, told us of an old saying here in Haiti which says, “Haiti will break your heart and never give you back all the pieces.” I can say this is true, and that’s okay with me.
